FRENCH ART-ROCKERS KLONE SHARE VIDEO FOR STANDOUT TRACK “AFTER THE SUN” 

TENTH FULL-LENGTH THE UNSEEN IS A MILESTONE

A band with a relentless hunger for what comes next, Klone have never sounded more confident or idiosyncratic than they do here.

This is smart, soulful and spontaneous modern prog, and the perfect balance between grown-up songwriting and the joy of a limitless imagination” — Prog

“Klone have offered a soothing counterpoint to the immediacy of their recent past” — Metal Hammer 

French art-rock collective Klone have shared the cinematic video for “After the Sun,” taken from their critically acclaimed tenth full-length, The Unseen, which was released earlier this year through Berlin’s Pelagic Records.

Watch it here.

Klone’s Guillaume Bernard says, “‘After the Sun’ dares to be minimal, and that’s its strength. Everything comes together at just the right moment to speak of our fleeting place in the world and our relationship with the passing of time.”

A bold new journey through a singular yet contrasting soundscape, The Unseen is an immersive, dreamlike experience that pushes Klone’s already sumptuous sound to new, magisterial heights and speaks to the significance of things that at first glance seem to lack it.

A minimalist masterstroke at the heart of the album, “After the Sun” is an elegant half-time lament set against a backdrop of bereavement. Whilst other tracks on The Unseen are sprawling and transcendental in their scale, “After the Sun” is undivided and direct; with heady guitar refrains giving way to frontman Yann Ligner‘s powerful words that speak of our transient place in an ever turning world.

Directed by Julien Metternich and starring actor and model Tifaine Boudinot, the video is a cinematic retelling of the track’s central themes of love, loss and memory. The protagonist disturbs the dust and long-dormant memories of an empty house whilst forming new memories of her own as arcane means of contacting the other side; pendulums, burnt sage and automatic writing, collide with more contemporary means of remembering and honoring our past.

With such an inimitable 25 years of music already behind them, it is more than apt that The Unseen is Klone’s tenth full-length release. The album serves as a milestone that uses reflections on the past as a means of appreciating the beauty of the present, with the band employing their shared decades of creativity and collaboration to offer truly enlightening new perspectives on the here and now.

The Unseen is out now.
